WestView Letter March 2014: Dear Editor,

My name is Jim Green. I moved into my apartment in 1977. I had never called 311 until May 2013 when the Sixth precinct turned on their air conditioning unit. I tried to reason with them over the loudness but they took no action. After I got an impact violation on them, they stalled me off through the summer but then finally shut it down when I got the second violation in late August. Then, the heating system went on in October. It was brutal. Two violations later they have done nothing about it.

I cannot sleep in my apartment as the system clicks on and off every 5 minutes. You can hear this on Bleecker Street. Phone number to contact Jimmy Alberici community affairs 212 741-4826. He always has a line of bullshit. Russell at buildings maintenance 718-476-7587. He always acts like everything will soon be great and never does anything. Also Rudy at 718 923-2720. He told me if it was a private company he could shut them down but he could not do anything about the cops. The department has no backbone when it comes to dealing with the police. I am not intimidated by them at all.
